As a parent of two BASD students, I admire the nurturing and talented teachers that
have cultivated a true love of learning in my daughters. As superintendent of schools,
I am proud of our district’s commitment to providing opportunities that engage and
inspire students. As a district resident, I know BASD is a special place because of
our community’s pride, deep sense of loyalty, and commitment to the history and
traditions of our schools.

Our students are challenged to think creatively and to pursue solutions to a wide
range of global problems and challenges. Our students understand the importance of
hard work and holding themselves to high academic and personal standards. Beyond
academics, our students are good people who understand and respect that our
community’s strength comes from its diversity of backgrounds, interests, and talents.
We value character building. Our students understand citizens have individual rights
and collective responsibilities to each other and to their community.

Our teachers cultivate these talented, knowledgeable, caring students through
an amazing array of learning opportunities in the arts, academics, athletics , and
service learning.

As a large district, we are fortunate to have the diversity of people, range of activities,
and depth of courses so that every child can discover and pursue their unique talents.
